A snail with a turbocharger is contending at the Indianapolis 500. Will he win or not ? Based on the original idea by David Soren, DreamWorks produces "Turbo" a 3D animated sports comedy film. Mostly known for his T.V animations "Turbo" is Soren's debut film. He has developed his concept with the writer of "The Wrestler", Robert D.Siegel and a couple of writers.
Theo(Ryan Renolds) is born to be a dreamer and he believes that his dream will become true some day. Being a T.V zombie Theo is obsessed about the Indy 500 race and aspires to become a racer just like his hero Guy Gagne(Bill Hader). Split into three parts the story begins at a garden, then it moves on to a strip mall(A deserted place like Radiator Springs) and finally to Indianapolis. Every act of the story has a glut of supporting characters, voiced by Paul Giamatti(Chet), Michael Peña(Tito), Snoop Dogg(Smoove Move), Maya Rudolph(Burn), Michelle Rodriguez(Paz) and Samuel L. Jackson(Whiplash).
Chet a usually paranoid snail and Tito who's also as crazy as Theo(Names himself 'Turbo'), they are the close aides of Turbo and contribute to the fun element. Sadly Turbo doesn't have a love interest and maybe that's why he was able to dream big(I'm just trying to interpret). Some of the scenes will leave you in splits, specially when Turbo becomes an internet sensation. Though the film has a linear sequence of predictable scenes, the supporting character and certain comical portion of the story keeps one entertained.
How does this precociously written script amuse us ? The story has a heart which willfully tries to portray the life of an underdog. A snail who dreams the impossible. We always prefer to hear about the unusual, don't we ? So, Soren's basic idea is the USP for Turbo and how 3D animation is used to deliver the impossible is interesting. Turbo is a 'Tron' visuals meet 'Cars' story. Mostly meant for the kids but it will equally entertain the adults as well, provided that they just watch and don't analyze. Henry Jackman who is a regular for animated films, his music increases the radiance of the picture. Dario Franchitti's as a consultant for "Turbo" adds more detail to the racing portion of the movie. On the whole Turbo is an honest attempt and it does entertain.
A garden snail ! Eew. Have a garden at home ? Beware, your kids are going to bring home Turbos. Turbo is a 96 minute fun filled movie but logically inept(Guys gotta learn from Pixar). Now zip...zap...zoom and book your tickets.
Moral of the story: No dream is too big; no dreamer is too small. Tuck 'n' Roll.
